Congratulations!
Sixun's paper has been published in Nature Communications
We found that even when a fractured bone appears to have healed, bone marrow stromal cells responsible for bone formation retain a âmemoryâ of the injury, resulting in reduced bone-forming capacity when the bone is injured again. We termed this phenomenon âstromal exhaustionâ and revealed its underlying mechanisms as well as potential therapeutic strategies.
Congratulations, Sixun!
